Patent attributes
Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for (re)configuring acceleration components over a network. (Re)configuration can be implemented for any of a variety of reasons, including to address an error in functionality at the acceleration component or to update functionality at the acceleration component. During (re)configuration, connectivity can be maintained for any other functionality at the acceleration component untouched by the (re)configuration. Network (re)configuration of acceleration components facilitates management of acceleration components and accelerated services from a centralized service. Network (re)configuration of acceleration components also relieves host components from having to store (potentially diverse and numerous) image files.
